Industrial facilities in Uganda — directory, sectors & CO₂

Industry mix (Uganda)

Facility counts by sector, Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0).

The state of Uganda's industrial emissions

Across the 4 Uganda industrial facilities with an estimated CO₂ figure (Climate TRACE), total emissions are about 1.2 Mt CO₂e/yr. The single largest emitter, Tororo Cement Plant (cement), accounts for about 61% of that. The biggest sectoral share comes from cement. Among facilities with a known operator, the top three — Tororo Cement Ltd, Hima Cement Ltd, Tembo Steels Uganda Ltd — account for roughly 97%. Most of these facilities sit in a tropical Köppen climate zone.
